Fear of being pregnant

Ive been having anxiety about being pregnant..it gets to the point where i make myself sick..its all i think about. I start to feel pregnant with most of the symptoms.. i took at least 10 pregnancy tests and all negative and even got my period and i still think im pregnant. I fear the pregnancy process, and not wanting to be pregnant at this time...i try to live my life with no stress..but this has become an issue for me

I was diagnosed with OCD a couple of years ago

I have a few things that i have to do and if i dont do it i go crazy
How can i help myself calm down without medication...I feel so sick...its getting bad :( :(
Can a doctor prescribe me something for my paranoia and anxiety :(

Did you read my post " anatomy of a horrific thought"? Your checking and rechecking the Internet is in that cycle in my post and that is part of the reason you can't move on. Stop checking and you will feel better. Go get a book and busy your mind to stop the thoughts

i saw the book. it looks great. i am too drained of energy right now from checking and rechecking the internet for reassurance that i might not be pregnant. i keep thinking the test could be a false negative

Taking the dip stick negative and your three normal periods...I can't help but say you cannot be pregnant especially from no penetration and no ejaculation.  You are definitely in high gear with your OCD and so you do need to get some help.  There is a book called The OCD Workbook:  Your Guide to Breaking Free of OCD.  You can go on Amazon and get a "look inside" to see if you think it would be helpful for you.  Let me know what you think.
